Just rented this movie on Netflix out of curiosity. I would say that the models on this site are a thousand times more beautiful than the actress who portrayed Ana Steele.
Most of the women who have seen the film have said they loved it, while the men have said they couldn't stand it. So I wanted to see it to evaluate it myself. She walks out on Christian in the end, so it's not a pleasant or good ending as far as movie endings go. Christian doesn't consider himself a sadist, but in truth that is exactly what he is into. His Red Room was specifically made for torture, not just sexual "domination." Many times in the film he says he is not interested in romance or normal dates, and he can't ever bring himself to admit any feelings for Ana. And the "L" word is especially forbidden. He just wants hard core
domination sex, with no emotion or special connection at all. Which is not really a relationship with any real meaning. No wonder Ana leaves him.
I would assume the book ends the same way. Not that I would ever read any of the three books in the trilogy.
